Private Cheese Making and Tasting Tour from Cagliari - with Lunch

Overview

There are places in Sardinia where the modern world dissolves, where the air smells of wild herbs and warm earth, and where daily life has remained unchanged for centuries. The family farm in Siliqua is one such place. Your English-speaking guide will accompany you from Cagliari across the Campidano plain to this working estate, where a Sardinian shepherd and his family have dedicated their lives to artisan cheese-making. You'll witness the transformation of sheep's milk into cheese, learning the tradition behind each step — temperature control, natural rennet, aging — and why mold is essential to the depth of flavor that makes Sardinian pecorino so distinctive. After the demonstration, the farm opens before you: pigs roaming freely, wheat swaying in the breeze, a family vineyard tended with quiet dedication. The experience concludes with a tasting of the farm's own cheeses, cured meats, and wine. A traditional lunch is available at €25 per person, payable directly at the farm.
